You are under my power
[no chord] D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD B minorBm E minorEm
It is the power of love
D MajorD C majorC BB
Eyes that hypnotize
E7E7 G+G
And all it takes is just one glance
D MajorD C majorC BB
Just one look at hi-im
E MajorE G+G A augmentedA
Puts me in a lover's trance
G+G E minor 7Em7 D MajorD E minorEm G+G Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Now listen, no rabbits in his hat
D MajorD E minorEm G+G Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
No pigeons up his sleeve
G+G Bm7Bm7 Am7Am7
But you better believe
Bm7Bm7 F#m7F#m7 Bm7Bm7
When I prove he can do so much
G+G F# minorF#m E minorEm
My baby must be a magician
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch
D MajorD C majorC BB
Oh, my morale was low
E7E7 G+G
Then he appeared just like a genie
D MajorD C majorC BB
His love has the power
E MajorE G+G A augmentedA
He's my private great Houdini
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD E minorEm G+G Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
No reading decks of cards
D MajorD E minorEm G+G Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
No coins that dis-app-ear
G+G Bm7Bm7 Am7Am7
No special gear
Bm7Bm7 F#m7F#m7 Bm7Bm7
Like Aladdin's lamp and such
G+G F# minorF#m E minorEm
But my baby must be a magician
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch
F# minorF#m F#m7F#m7
Whenever I'm feeling bad
E minor 7Em7
My baby simply kisses me
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7 E MajorE Bm7Bm7 F# minorF#m D MajorD E MajorE
And then Presto, Chango, Ala-kazam

I'm alright again, oh, yes I am, yes I am alright
